Pre-Game Talk: Edmonton Oilers (18-10-4) vs Carolina (18-11-1) 7pm MST

[BlackDogg]

Looks like the Canes are rolling with their backup Reimer tonight .

No excuses ! Scoring first is a must !

They must think they landed in Calgary. Sshhh. don't tell them.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

8-2 good guys.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

a.k.a Nursa Major

Outstanding

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Must win? Lol. Hot take. Not even close to a must win game.

Wanna win game!

 

[WhyYouHaveToBeMad]

at least we are being consistent

 

[joestevens29]

I mean considering RNH was out for 6 of those games 5-4-1 isn't exactly horrid, is it?

Funny enough we somehow went 4-2 with him out though.

No it is not. However, since that hot start we have been pretty much a .500 team. We need to get a little winning streak going, to give ourselves a bit of a breathing room in case we falter a bit.

van damme mojo! Oilers are gonna kick some serious buttox tonight.

His SPCT is way better than Mrazek, but Mrazek with way better W-L. Team just plays worse with Reimer in net?

 

[Porkleaker]

So they're playing their backup and the refs have

Home Win %

60.0% (14)

65.0% (8)

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Koskinen is in net

They have no excuses tonight, other than that Carolina has a really good PK.

 

[tardigrade81]

8-2 good guys.

At first I was like.... wow

But they have their backup in so maybe!

[Porkleaker]

But they also have their backup in, which means he could just as easily put up a Vezina level performance.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Reimer makes 50 saves and Koski gets pulled.

Book it.

 

[Mav3rick07]

Any night Mike Smith isn’t starting is a good night .

 

[McSuper]

At first I was like.... wow

But they have their backup in so maybe!

Edmonton always make shit goalies look like Allstar Patrick Roy .

 

[yukoner88]

I wonder how many such people in North Carolina even care about hockey. Move to Quebec city and move Panthers too.

With a couple behind the scenes rumours I've read about Dundas/Karmonos, I'd be hardly surprised if the group in QC are quietly making some phone calls.

Lmao valid point.

 

[tardigrade81]

Edmonton always make **** goalies look like Allstar Patrick Roy .

I know. maybe tonight will be different!!!!

 

[9GWG9]

Would be nice to win this one and go on a runnnnn...

Standing getting tighter

 

[RegDunlop]

Hate McDrai split....
But I actually do think Drai with Kharia has a bit of chemistry coming.

Maybe I'm talking outta my ass tho

I want to see the split to see if there is another gear out of RNH. We all know if it isn't working they'll be back together anyway by the third.

 

[Cloned]

Oilers are 1-1-2 with me in attendance this year.

The win was on the road in Vegas. I also went to last year's blowout win for Carolina against us. Safe to say they're taking an L tonight. Sorry boys

I'm surprised you came back from Vegas without any “lasting” damage.

True True

 

[tardigrade81]

good question. Sitting here in my grey hanes underwear with an orange oilers shirt on. I’m seriously wild!
